Signups for Session One are now open! The leagues will start on November 4th.
Indoor soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. All outdoor players love to play indoor soccer. Many of the practice sessions during the regular outdoor season are based on the small sided games where players get more touches on the ball and get more involved with the play. Brazil, France, Italy, Spain, Serbia, Holland, and Germany are excellent in tight spaces and have an unbelievable touch on the ball. The reason is simple – indoor soccer. The field is simply reduced approximately 30m x 20m with smaller goals (2m x 3m). The game is played 6 vs. 6 (youth) & 5 vs.5 (adults). This system ensures maximum participation from each player. The Bennington Sports & Wellness Center is very interested in individual player development in all facets of the game. We encourage good sportsmanship and positive attitudes during our leagues and look to help shape the youth in the community in a positive manner.
League Play will remain the same. All league rules will apply! We look forward to providing the best quality and enjoyment for you and your team as we continue to develop and improve an unforgettable experience at the Bennington Sports Center! See you there!
